Descripción
Forests in the Asia-Pacific region provide vital ecosystem services in support of agriculture, food security and nutrition; as well as playing a critical role in climate-change mitigation and adaption. This vital role is being rapidly diminished, owing to massive degradation of forests and lands. In recent years, the landscape restoration approach has gained momentum and offers enormous opportunities. However, reforestation efforts in the region have been modest, owing to a general lack of awareness, technical capacity, and viable strategies at the national level to implement forest and landscape restoration (FLR). The project aimed to support four selected countries in the region to restore degraded forestlands using a landscape approach through the adoption of FLR in national forest restoration strategies.
